Walk with shadows

I still have one unrealized theme from two years ago – textured night shadows, sometimes similar to monsters. To do this, it was necessary to wait for the appearance of foliage.

And then night fell, and I went out in search of my night guides-monsters.

Then I photographed it all on my smartphone.

This time, the shadows were just an addition to the usual urban landscape.

Very often I repeat the plots I made many years ago.

It's like I'm remembering something, going over it again, adding to it, or putting an end to it.

Sometimes I find others in my old themes, and I feed on myself.

I wonder if it's a bad thing or a good thing when you admire your own pictures?

Does this smack of narcissism, or is it a completely normal phenomenon?

Of course, there are other photographers that I admire.

Let it be just pride in the work done, the experience gained, or the ability to see.

And I'm not always happy with the result...

...It seems to me that you can trace the epoch by the shadows.

Shadows, it turns out, can also be an element of time.

In the era of LED street lamps, shadows have their own special feature.

If there is only one lamp in the old lanterns, then there are many luminous elements in the LED ones.

They form one light beam...but not everything is so clear.

At a certain angle, the light from small LEDs exhibits dispersion, meaning the shadows become pixelated with square edges.

If the foliage of the tree is located close to the lamp, then each LED gives its own shadow. They are superimposed on each other and the shadows are ribbed, striped and pixelated.

Well, in conclusion, I will say that such shadows should be captured closer to the end of summer, since with an incompletely dark sky, the shadows do not have a black depth.

I'll take some more shadows!
